TIMING BELT INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL NO. 1 TIMING BELT IDLER SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Using a 10 mm hexagon wrench, install a new washer and the No. 1 timing belt idler with the bolt.

      Torque:
      35 N*m  { 357 kgf*cm, 26 ft.*lbf }

    2. Check that the idler pulley moves smoothly.

      If the idler pulley does not move smoothly, check the installation condition of the idler and washer.

  2. INSTALL TIMING BELT

      *1 Timing Mark

      Check that the timing marks are aligned as shown in the illustration.

      Tech Tips

      If reusing the timing belt, align the points marked during removal, and install the belt with the arrow pointing in the direction of crankshaft revolution.

      Note


      • Make sure that the engine is cold.

      • When turning the crankshaft, the valve heads will hit against the piston. Do not turn the crankshaft more than necessary.

    2. Install the timing belt to the pump drive shaft pulley, camshaft timing pulley and No. 1 timing belt idler in sequence.

      Place the tensioner upright. Then set a press on the top of the tensioner.

      Note


      • Do not scratch or deform the rod end.

      • Press in the tensioner rod.

      • Protect the tip of the push rod with a cloth in order to prevent damage.

    4. Using the press, slowly push in the push rod using 981 to 9807 N (100 to 1000 kgf, 220 to 2205 lbf) of force.

      Note

      Do not apply a load of over 9807 N (1000 kgf, 2205 lbf) to the push rod.

    5. Align the holes of the push rod and housing. Then pass a 1.5 mm hexagon wrench through the holes to fix the push rod in place.

    6. Temporarily install the timing belt tensioner with the 2 bolts while pushing the idler pulley toward the timing belt.

    7. Tighten the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      13 N*m  { 133 kgf*cm, 10 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Uniformly tighten the 2 bolts.

  3. INSTALL NO. 1 TIMING BELT COVER


    1. Install the timing belt cover and 6 washers with the 6 bolts.

      Torque:
      6.0 N*m  { 61 kgf*cm, 53 in.*lbf }
